Questions:
1. The frequency of two alleles in a gene pool is 0.42 (A) and 0.58 (a). Calculate the percentage of
homozygous dominant, homozygous recessive, and heterozygous individuals assuming that the
population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (5 pts).
2. In a sample of 600 corn plants, 358 plants have yellow kernels and 242 have white kernels. The
allele Y for yellow kernels is dominant over the y allele for white kernels. Calculate the allelic
frequencies within this population, assuming that the population is in H-W equilibrium (5 pts).
3. Compute the broad sense and the narrow sense heritability estimates. (5 pts.)

Calculate the expected yield from the double cross hybrids [ (D x E) X (A x C) ] and
[ (A x E) X (B xD) ]. Which is the ‘better’ hybrid? (5 pts)
1). Here frequency of A is 0.42 and frequency of a is 0.58
So, p= 0.42, q= 0.58.
Frequency of homozygous dominant, that is, p²= (0.42)²= 0.1764= 17.64 %
Frequency of homozygous recessive, q²= (0.58)²= 0.3364= 33.64%
Frequency of heterozygous individuals, 2pq= 2×0.42×.58= 0.4872= 48.72%.
2). Here y allele is recessive and Y is dominant.
Out of 600, 242 have white kernels, that us, they have yy allele.
So, q²= 242/600×100= 40.33%= 0.403.
Therefore, q= (0.403)¹/²= 0.635
We know that p+q= 1
So, p= 1- 0.635= 0.365.
So, frequency of allele Y is 0.365 and y is 0.635.

It breaks the projectile motion of the luggage into pieces and uses the fundamental kinematic equations to find intermediate quantities that then lead to the answer. There is another (more direct) solution path. Considering all the given quantities: v, h, and e, what ONE equation can be used to...

1. People wit h the sex-linked genetic disease, hemophilia, suffer from excessive bleeding because their blood will not clot. Tom, Mary, and their 4 daughters do not exhibit symptoms of hemophilia. However, their son exhibits symptoms of hemophilia because: A) Tom is heterozygous B) Tom is homozygous C Mary is homozygous D) Mary is heterozygous E All of the above are equally likely What is the risk of having a child affected by disease with an autosomal recessive inheritance both...
Please explain these in a way that makes sense as soon as possible 1. Two different autosomal loci (t1 and t2) can render a mouse tailless. The tailless alleles at both loci are recessive. Homozygosity for the recessive allele at either of the loci or at both loci renders the mouse tailless. A tailless mouse homozygous for t1 is mated to a tailless mouse that is homozygous for t2 and produces F1 mice with NORMAL tails. What will be the...
